Nile Kinnick correspondence, August-December 1940

1940-09-23: Front

Erwin J. Gottsch, M.D. Shenandoah, Iowa
Sept., 23, 1940.
Mr. Nile Kinnick
Iowa City, Iowa,
Dear Mr Kinnick:
I assure you that I entirely understand your
attitude, if you have personal political ambitions. If
such is the case, you can make no better move, than to
ally yourself as early as possible with the party of
your choice, for it pays to start young,
I am also interested in the same presidential
candidate as you are, but it has long been my observation
that either party, will use any method possible in
order to advance the popularity of their candidate.
However if you have a political carver in sight, thare
is no more opportune time than the present to climb on
to the bandwagon. And if ten years from now, you have
the same ideals that you do at present, I assure you
that you will have my vote for any office you decide
to try for. Thats a promise.
Very truly yours, E. J. Gottsch.
ejg/e E.J.Gottsch.
